"When I took the ticket out and looked, I'm like, 'Oh my God. I got five numbers,'" Almerta Williams said.

Williams said she matched all five white balls and missed the Powerball in Wednesday night's drawing, and because she selected the bonus Powerplay option, instead of getting $1 million, she got $2 million.

"I didn't want to go to sleep because I'm like, 'I'm going to go to sleep and wake up and this is going to be a dream, and I didn't win nothing,'" Williams said.

Williams purchased her winning ticket at Herb's Deli & Spirits in Edgewood in the 2000 block of Hanson Road, and folks there couldn't be happier.

"It's pretty crazy knowing you had $2 million in your hand, but it wasn't meant to be for me. It was meant to be for her. So that's cool," said Ken Foster with Herb's Deli & Spirits.

There's usually a story that comes along with a huge jackpot, and Williams had one. She said she actually marked down the wrong number. She meant to mark down a 3, but instead marked a 5.

"So, I told my kids, 'You all make fun of me because I can't see?' I said, 'Me not being able to see got me $2 million. I'm a rich blind woman,'" Williams joked.

At Herb's Deli & Spirits, they said they're glad they didn't assist Williams with her picks.

"That's how she got the $2 million prize ... it was an awesome mistake right around the holidays, so we congratulate her," said Megan Lose with Herb's Deli & Spirits.

Maryland Lottery officials were pleased to see Williams win as well after selling more than $9.5 million in tickets on Wednesday alone. They said roughly $4 million was added to the state's general fund and a lot more interest was brought to Powerball, which has only been in Maryland for about two years.

"I think it's generated intense interest and excitement in this game, and we look forward to it being something that we offer for years to come," Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino said.

Williams said she's going to keep working and wants to buy a new house and an 80-inch flat screen TV.

Diplomats and negotiators kept working Tuesday as a deadline approached to reach a deal on a framework agreement on Iran's nuclear program, but a U.S. State Department official said the discussion may continue after the cutoff.
